^^^ got pics. I'd be more worried about trashing the exhaust header on the speed bumps. In Chicago we have speed humps, like a 5 ft long speed bump. Will seriously destroy regular car gong over at speed let alone a lowered one. When I walk my dogs I can hear people when they blast over them. Doesn't send good.

There is a thread in the showroom from last year on a lowered SVT...sounds like speed bumps can be an issue...

I figure...front and back braces are cheap, and my suspension is already modified enough to put me in a prepared class...might as well right?

yea true theyre not that bad of price... i saw you posted in the tb thread they give better throttle response so basically no hp gains or anything just like the car is ready to go at the blip of throttle type of speak...
